LOCATION

Swavesey is a highly sought-after village located close to the A14 and directly connected to Cambridge and St Ives by the Guided Busway. The Busway provides not only rapid bus travel but also one of the region’s best off-road cycle routes, giving commuters safe, direct access to Cambridge Science Park, North Cambridge, and the city centre.

The village has a welcoming and active community with excellent local facilities. Amenities include a primary school, village shop, post office services, pubs, restaurants, community hall, sports and social clubs, a marina, fishing lakes, walking routes and nearby nature reserves. The close proximity to the Fen Drayton Lakes RSPB reserve adds to its appeal for outdoor enthusiasts.

Swavesey Primary School is well regarded, but the village is best known for Swavesey Village College — one of Cambridgeshire’s top-performing secondary schools, rated Outstanding by Ofsted. The safe cycle route along the Busway makes it particularly easy for local students to travel independently and safely.
